Your hot tub questions answered

Do I need to install plumbing for a hot tub?

No. Most hot tubs are filled using a normal garden hose.

Do I need to install it myself?

Most hot tubs will arrive in one piece, ready to be filled with water and plugged in for heat. You just need to tell the delivery people where to place it! You can also opt to have it professionally installed. Remember that a filled hot tub will be very heavy so suitable foundations will be needed.

Should I install a hot tub indoors?

You may install a hot tub indoors or out, provided your structure is strong enough to support it. You should also make sure your electrical and plumbing lines can handle the additional load as well.

Are hot tubs hard to maintain?

Not at all - the water only needs to be checked around once a week or so and then the appropriate chemicals added. Aside from that, simply wipe them down from time to time in order to keep them clean.

Will I need to reinforce my deck before adding a hot tub?

Possibly, as the average hot tub weighs more than 317 kilograms, and can hold as much as 1088 kilograms in water. Many wooden decks are incapable of holding this weight, and must therefore be reinforced to prevent damage.
